I have a chance to pick up a 12' aluminum boat from someone who has owned it for over 10 years. They have been using it on a private lake (without a motor) and never registered it.Prior to that it was registered by the previous owner, issued a boat number and registration. How can I get this boat transferred to me and registered for use (with a motor). In NJ boats of 12' or less do not have titles but are required to be registered if used with a motor. The old existing boat registration number would still be used (required) however the information regarding that owner is long gone and Motor Vehicles will not divulge it. Can I register it with a receipt from the current owner who has never registered it? Anyone with any experience with this?? thanks
